Moments after writing the last post on the Planned Parenthood Federation’s co-opting of the cross of Christ, I came across the Federation’s “Save Roe” Internet site. The site, a youth-oriented activist page, includes a section of “Choice News,” culling news reports on abortion rights issues. I was surprised to see that the top article is about the Intelligent Design movement’s latest advance in Kansas.
Now what does ID have to do with Roe v. Wade?It must simply be that both are contested “culture war” issues, headed once again for the Supreme Court. What else could be the correlation? Roe, after all, is about freedom, individual autonomy, and the dignity of women, right? Whereas, Darwinian naturalism is about the survival of the fittest, the triumph of the strong over the weak, a violent unfolding of progress, and a bloody natural order red in tooth and claw.
Oh.
